“
I’ve been seeing Elisa for a few months as I work through some issues after college, and I’m so grateful for her support. From the first session, she created a welcoming space where I could openly express my feelings. Her ability to listen attentively while offering thoughtful guidance is invaluable as I figure out my life path.
Elisa combines empathy with tools to help me manage anxiety and gain perspective. She's helped me reframe challenges and focus on growth, which has made a significant difference in how I approach uncertainty. I highly recommend her.”

Getting to know Elisa Smith
I am a compassionate, trauma-informed psychotherapist dedicated to providing a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your inner world and gain insight into the many factors that shape your life. While you know yourself best, life can be challenging. My goal is to instill hope, foster insight, and build confidence—both in your relationship with yourself and with others—so you can live with greater peace of mind.
I hold a Master’s in Social Work from Columbia University and have experience supporting individuals through a wide range of life challenges, including anxiety, depression, mental health crises, trauma, substance use, and end-of-life concerns. I specialize in guiding individuals through difficult life transitions, particularly grief and loss. If you recently lost a loved one or provide care for someone at the end of life, I am passionate about helping you navigate complex emotions and build resilience. I bring a deep sensitivity to existential processes, providing a space free of pressure where you can feel supported and understood.
Drawing from evidence-based practices, I tailor my approach to meet your unique needs, offering person-centered, holistic care. Together, we will work collaboratively to develop coping skills and a deeper sense of self-understanding and acceptance.
Whether you are seeking support for mild anxiety or a more severe crisis, I am here to help you feel heard, seen, and valued. You are not alone, and I am honored to hear your story and help you grow stronger along the way.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I believe in providing a comfortable space where you can process your feelings at your own pace. I aim to listen and build trust while also offering clinical guidance to help identify and work with you toward your goals. Drawing from evidence-based practices, I tailor my approach to meet your unique needs, offering person-centered, holistic care. Together, we will work collaboratively to develop coping skills and a deeper sense of self-understanding and acceptance.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
During our first session, I typically start with a structured, more directive intake where I ask questions about your personal history, environment and lifestyle as well as your goals for therapy. Based on your input, I will aim to structure our future sessions to meet your therapeutic needs in a comfortable, judgement-free space, always working with you collaboratively and with flexibility.
